Description
This midnight tart cherry mocktail is a (dare I say it) better version of that sleepy girl mocktail that took TikTok by storm this past summer. It tastes like a sour cherry soda but with tons of health benefits.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (8 oz) tart cherry juice
- 1/2 cup lime juice
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 limes worth of zest
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp Celtic sea salt
- Sparkling water (favorite is Gerolsteiner)
Instructions
- Make the concentrate. Add the cherry juice, lime juice, honey, lime zest, vanilla, and salt into a jar or blender. Then shake or blend for 2 minutes until slightly frothy. Store the concentrate in the fridge for up to 4 days
- Prep the mocktail and serve*. When you’re ready to serve, shake the concentrate well. Then pour 1/2 cup of the cherry limeade concentrate over a glass filled halfway with ice (preferably my everyday cup) and top off with 1/2 cup of sparkling water. The ratio of concentrate to water is 1:1.
Notes
*When you’re ready to serve, feel free to froth magnesium powder into the concentrate before pouring it over your cup of ice. Lately I’ve been making this mocktail without the magnesium and getting the same sleepy results! If you do want to add in magnesium, I love Arrae’s Calm Supplement and Moon Juice Magnesi-Om.
